    the Economist: US Naturalizes More Citizens Than Other Developed Nations

    6.6 million citizens naturalized in the last decade, more than any other developed country and pretty much exactly average on a per capita basis.

    Which countries have naturalised the most immigrants over the past decade?

    COUNTRIES can set restrictive or permissive policies on immigration, but the main driver of how many people come is the availability of jobs. Sweden has introduced a relatively welcoming policy towards migrants, but this has not led to a tidal wave of new arrivals according to a report published by the OECD. In America, the largest recipient of migrants who go on to be naturalised, the financial crisis has done more to slow the rate of new arrivals than aggressive laws in Arizona or anywhere else. The largest group of new Americans comes from Mexico, followed by China and India. Migrants to Russia, by contrast, come almost exclusively from the countries that used to make up the Soviet Union. Measured on a per person basis, Switzerland and Canada give citizenship to twice as many migrants as Russia or America.

      As the article mentions, loose immigration policy doesn't necessarily lead to increased immigration (see: Sweden).

        Is this surprising?

        Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

        You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          Not in the least, but it's pretty definitive fodder against the "we don't actually want any immigration reform but it sounds better if we call it immigration reform instead of open borders" crew that claims that immigrating to the US is too difficult.

              Kill all the non-white people... and of course anyone of Irish descent (might as well not be white).

                One of the more legitimately clever things I've seen on here in a while. Color me easily impressed.
